Okay, I've noticed a trend on the board lately... people who had registered either recently, or within the past 2 years (around the time that NCSoft bought out the game from Cryptic), that have less than a dozen posts... coming "back" to the boards and posting negative things.... or asking pointed and/or rhetorical questions about the status of the game, the age of the game, and whether it's "dying" or the servers being "ghost towns".

I won't name any names here, but if you look around you can see them. People with extremely low post count who come out of nowhere and suggest strongly that the game is DOOOOOOOOOOMED.

My conspiracy theory? That they are either employees of "that other game" or are hired by that other game as some form of corporate sabotage in an attempt to alter the general mood of the playerbase and to try to "kill" the game by attrition. By creating a negative environment and alter the discussion about the game in the direction of it "dying".

They also almost never respond to anyone after making their original posts... and sometimes just make another thread in another part of the boards saying something similar instead. suspicious? I think so.

This I strongly suspect.

What Fulmens said.

Also, I'd suggest making full use out of power color customization.... Dark Blasts look REALLY cool in colors other than black!

Sure it's a LITTLE bit redundant once you've reached the "soft-cap" of defense... but only for the TEAM. You still don't have as much defense as the rest of your teammates unless you IO out. So the Dark Blasts help YOU keep alive a lot longer too!

Also, depending on your playstyle, you might end up wanting to respec out of either Force Bubble or Repulsion Field... if you find yourself using one more often than the other or find one never being used at all... I'd say respec it out for something you'd get more use out of... like another blast or perhaps another Leadership power.

I also now have my own Copypasta for just this occasion:









And finally... I challenge you.

Shine On you say?

This thread is totally not what I thought it would be....


... so disappointed right now...

Help?

I'll do what I can.

As a temporary work-around until NC comes around to explain/fix things, you could always use one of the many web proxy servers out there to "trick" the site into thinking your request is coming from America.

But yes, I do believe the company has some explaining to do by forcing you to visit one site over another.

See that's where this conversation goes in circles. Stubborn, uncreative people that can't ADMIT that they are stubborn or uncreative. Seriously, if you guys could just ADMIT that you are stubborn and uncreative... then we can move forward and find ways to facilitate and ALLOW you to remain stubborn and uncreative.

We can't resolve a problem if people won't admit that they have a problem.

I'm a cold, un-empathetic ******-bag... but I ADMIT that I am... so now I can work on it from there. It's hard sometimes but you have to admit you have a problem before you can work on it!

Had they ever played MMOs before? All MMOs are repetitive... that's the nature of the genre.

I don't know why you'd take the Mac Pack over the GvE. Sure the mission teleporter is useful, but you still won't have access to an entire area of the game if you don't get GvE.

On top of that, the Jet pack can be used with every other travel power other than Teleport to enhance those powers abilities. It willl allow you to keep superjumping up for 30 second straight... almost double the default speed of Fly for 30 seconds straight... or allow a superspeedster to actually get past SKYWAY with no problem if they are smart about it. It enhances all the travel powers.
